Jared Padalecki to star in 'Friday' remake [Archive]

Supernatural fans should be well pleased.

Padalecki in for 'Friday' remake (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ibd61f147f35609ae4b2be059ef8b3489)

Jared Padalecki is in final negotiations to star in the remake of "Friday the 13th" that Platinum Dunes is producing for New Line and Paramount.

Marcus Nispel is directing from a script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing.

Paramount released the original "Friday" in 1980, introducing horror icon Jason with a brief appearance. The remake will focus on the serial killer, who will wear his now-iconic hockey mask. Padalecki will play the lead, who investigates what happened up at Crystal Lake.

Cale Boyter and Guy Stodel are overseeing for New Line. A release is planned for -- what else? -- Friday, Feb. 13, 2009.

Padalecki stars as Sam Winchester on the CW's "Supernatural," and his film credits include "House of Wax" and "Cry Wolf." He next appears as Thomas Kinkade alongside Peter O'Toole and Marcia Gay Harden in Lionsgate's "Home for the Holidays," slated for a December release and based on the life of the artist and his painting "The Christmas Cottage."

So he's investigating what's been happening at Crystal Lake, eh? I'd pay good money for a scene in which he gets attacked by Jason and repeatedly shouts "He's killing me! Oh sweet baby Jesus, he's really killing me!"

i like him first 'cause i like sam from supernatural, 2nd 'cause It's, except for thomas jarvis, is one of the few male lead in the franchise, 3rd 'cause he'll play a cop or something so it's clear it won't be a remake at all!

I can see some fans having a problem with this casting, but I don't mind it. I didn't think Jessica Biel had any place in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake when I first heard she was going to be in it, but that turned out really well. Plus, Jared Padalecki is an actor with some, but not too much name value. As long as the casting direcor stays away from rappers, singers, and pop-craze celebrities, we should be fine.

To be honest, I'd probably have a problem with it if I were familiar with Supernatural. But, I've never seen anything of the show outside a promotional ad for it. So, at least I won't be sitting there thinking "That's the guy from Supernatural." the whole time, whenever I decide to see this. I've never saw him in anything else that I'm aware of.

I've got no problem with Padalecki, actually. I'm pleased.

So this is how that Supernatural/F13 crossover is happening. I've never watched Supernatural, don't remember him (or anything other than Lindy Booth) from Cry Wolf, and all I remember about him from House of Wax is that Elisha Cuthbert had to wear lifts strapped to her shoes to stay in frame with him since he's so much taller than her. So... sure, bring this guy on.

Just Jeans

03-21-2008, 04:37 PM

Padalecki is a bit of a trunk. The guy is huge! Or they cast really short people to play against him in Supernatural. In fact I now wonder just how tall he is, because he may well be damn near as tall as Jason. How tall is Michael Bailey Smith? If he was in Jason gear and standing next to Padalecki, what would the height differential be?

Anyway, I've seen a couple of episodes, and I think he's a pretty competent actor. He's certainly more skilled than a lot of the people who appeared in the first 10 films.

DRE

03-21-2008, 05:47 PM

Padalecki and MBS are the exact same height, 6' 4"

The Dunes have yet to cast rap artist or any musicians so far, I don't expect that to change now. But I do expect to see more people on Padalecki's caliber, so don't be surprised to hear of more WB/CW/Heroes/Young Hollywood people cast.

Just Jeans

03-21-2008, 05:49 PM

As long as they cast WB/CW/Heroes/Young Hollywood people who can actually act, then every thing's shiny.

Allison Mack for the female lead!

but we'll see.

DRE

03-21-2008, 06:12 PM

I can tell you now, Padalecki comes with a female fanbase (Judging from IMDB) so that's a good audience to tap into, just resist the temptation to smack the teenyboppers sitting behind you at the theater. And looking at the Character Descriptions, I can't place what character he would be.

Yes, give me Allison Mack over Scout or any Gossip Girl star.

Looking over the casting breakdowns again, I figure that Padalecki is playing the character of Clay.

I thought Smith is 6' 5" or 6' 6". He has to be taller than 6' 4".

DRE

03-21-2008, 08:29 PM

His bio on IMDB says 6' 4" but that could be inaccurate. Either way, I'm sure his boots will make him a bit taller. Jason can still kick the ass of anyone taller than him, as we've seen. ;)

Cody

03-21-2008, 08:31 PM

6'4" is what MBS himself says on his official site (http://www.michaelbaileysmith.com/) and MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/michaelbaileysmith).

He would be the first bald Jason actor. Just throw the mask and a green work shirt on the guy and he is Jason.

He is a competent actor, but has starred in two of the worst horror films I've ever seen. House of Wax and Cry Wolf are not welcome memories to relive. I also find Supernatural to be one of the most annoyingly smug shows on television; it in fact plays like a dressed up Hardy Boys with stories ripped from Crimelibrary and Wikipedia. Not a great resume, but that may not be a concern with Nispel.

I'm thoroughly pumped at this news! Like I said in the Casting Thread: Can life really get any better? I actually have something to look forward to in this movie now and will be checking frequently to see what's up.

I've only seen him in House of Wax, and I've already forgotten it, so I really have no reaction to this casting news. Still, I'm glad it's being met with approval by just about everyone.

Yeah, House of Wax wasn't that bad--it's just not something I've watched alot over the past few years, so I really can't remember anything about Padalecki's performance in it.

I like him better too, no doubt about that. But somehow, I think Jared is more "appropriate" for that role.

Nope. We do know that Michael Bailey Smith is on the "short list" of names under consideration for the role of Jason.

03-26-2008, 04:49 PM

I hope Michael Smith gets the role. He not only seems in the physical stature, but he has done this kind of work before, and most of all...he seems to have a respect for the character, which is very important because you know he will do everything he can to make it work.

That's funny that you remember all these lines. I haven't watched it in about a year. I'm not sure I could stomach it. Now that I think about it, The Friday films didn't move towards horrible dialogue until part. 6. And even then it was minimal.

The Nightmare films started in Part 3, imo. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Freddy one-liners.

Jigsaw

03-29-2008, 06:31 AM

Gringo Loco

03-29-2008, 06:34 AM

I think The Dream Master was when Freddy really started to get over-the-top with his humor and one-liners. At least in Dream Warriors, he was still dark and cruel, and the humor wasn't emphasized. I don't think the dialogue in F13 was that bad until maybe The New Blood ("With my luck you'll turn out to be another delusion"), but I think all of the Fridays have had their share of cheesy lines. Nothing as bad as a lot of what was in FVJ, though.

And the sad thing is Freddy vs. Jason probably made alot more money than most of the films in either catalogue.

So what's on the table for these 2 franchises? I haven't been keeping up. Obviously they are re-imagining Friday the 13th. Are they doing the same for Nightmare after Friday?

I don't mind it being remade. Funny thing is, I felt Halloween shouldn't have been remade. I can't tell you why I felt that way. I prefer Nightmare over Halloween. Maybe it had something to do with Rob Zombie. /shrug

The one thing I do have a problem with, is Platinum Dunes. I saw the TCM remake and it's sequel, and I see no redeeming value in either film.

I liked the TCM remake a lot (moreso than the original :side: ), but thought The Beginning left a lot to be desired.

Really? I haven't seen TCM original in about a year or so and I haven't really watched it over and over like I have done the Friday or Nightmare series but I felt it was a good, solid, horror film.

I just couldn't relate to the characters in the remake. They all looked like they walked out of a photo shoot or out of some magazine ad like a Guess ad. Since I didn't care for them, I didn't feel bad about their deaths. And I felt that the movie glorified Leatherface and Hoyt.

Jigsaw, are you a fan of HO1KC and TDR?

Jigsaw

03-29-2008, 06:53 AM

I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I enjoyed both HO1KC and TDR a lot (TDR a tad moreso, Wydell is the man).

See, I felt those movies glorified the killers. I mean, sure they die in the end of TDR, but for the whole movie(s) they were shown as badasses. I dunno, I'm gonna watch HO1KC again and see what I think now. The last time I watched it, it was on a downloaded screener, heh.

Jigsaw

03-29-2008, 07:02 AM

TDR did somewhat glorify them but at the same time it showed they were ruthless and evil killers who would get their comeuppance in the long run, and a comeuppance that was well-deserved.

I was cheering for Wydell when he was beating and torturing them, and was pretty bummed when he died. They deserved every bit of torture he was giving them.

I agree the torture scene was good but it was short. Rob shouldn't have held back. Again this goes back to my feeling that Rob glorified the killers because (imo) their suffering was nothing compared to the suffering of the people they killed.

Jigsaw

03-29-2008, 07:11 AM

I agree. I can't fathom how people could hate it when Wydell was torturing them, since he was only doing his job to apprehend and punish criminals. Wydell may not have been the most likeable guy around, but he sure knows how to give criminals the punishment they deserve.

That's funny. Sometimes I wonder about people. You always here someone did something fucked up in the news. I wonder if some of these people end up like that.

Good question.

The Dream Master

03-29-2008, 03:31 PM

In The Devil's Rejects, it was Wydell's job to apprehend the criminals, not torture them. It's not a police officer's job to torture any criminal. I don't feel bad for Baby, Otis, or Spaulding, but Wydell had no reason to torture them, either.

Jigsaw

03-29-2008, 09:28 PM

I think he was more than justified with his actions when he apprehended them, and all the moreso given that the Fireflies killed his brother.

The Dream Master

03-29-2008, 10:54 PM

Not really. When you said that "he was only doing his job to apprehend and punish criminals," that's only half right. A cop's job is to apprehend, not to punish--that part is left up to the justice system. In the eyes of the law, what Wydell did was totally illegal, regardless of what the Fireflies did to his brother. There's a reason we have a justice system; it's not there to be ignored. As far as I'm concerned, that's how it should be.

Jigsaw

03-29-2008, 10:55 PM

I definitely think there's instances where vigilante justice and action is justified, though.

The Dream Master

03-29-2008, 10:57 PM

In Wydell's case it wasn't. The suspects were subdued, and there was a mountain of evidence to convict all three. He didn't have to take the law into his own hands, no matter how much he wanted to. The law isn't about personal satisfaction--it's about justice.

Jigsaw

03-29-2008, 10:58 PM

I think he was justified in doing what he did and he had every right to do so. I would've done the same thing in his situation. No sentence given to them in a court of law would've given me the same sense of satisfaction as being able to personally torture them myself.

The Dream Master

03-29-2008, 11:00 PM

And you'd be going to jail once it was discovered you did that, which really makes you no better than the people you were torturing in the first place.

If I may play Devil's Advocate for a moment, the Fireflies tortured and killed people for fun; what Wydell did and what Jigsaw's talking about doing is meant to punish them for what they've done. An eye for an eye. That kind of bloody vengence may not be right, and I wouldn't neccessarily condone it, but I'd say that it's not the same thing as hurting people purely for the joy of doing it.

Darth Sinister

03-30-2008, 07:41 PM

The best quote concerning vengeance.

Connor MacLeod: "Life brings hope and pain. But revenge will never bring redemption."

That is essentially what revenge is. A chance to redeem yourself for whatever failure comes your way in life. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out that way. You think that you'll feel better, but you won't. People who have revenge never feel better. The anger and pain that you feel will never go away. It'll continue to fester. To be vengeful is to be selfish, because you're thinking about yourself and not about those who were slighted. And when it is yourself, you will never get back what you lost. You will become that which you have fought against. You will lose your soul, your self and everything else that matters.

And as to them feeling your pain, as in Wydell's case, they'll never feel it. Emotional pain is far different from physical pain. There is also the fact that would Wydell's brother really want him to do what he does? That's where the selfish part that I mentioned earlier comes in. You're thinking about yourself and not someone else.

It comes down to this. You have to be better than the people who hurt you or your loved ones. Otherwise we're no different from them.

Just Jeans

It's true that the Firefly family doesn't deserve the audience's pity when Wydell is torturing them, but it's equally true that Wydell's urge to take the law into his own hands is what got him killed.

That's one of the reason I liked The Devil's Rejects -- Zombie wasn't glorifying the torture of criminals by any means. In Wydell we saw a man consumed with hatred and who was ultimately destroyed by lowering himself to the same despicable tactics as his enemy.

The moral of the story wasn't the glorification of vigilantly justice. The moral was that hatred and vengeance leads to mutual destruction.

Jigsaw

03-31-2008, 02:12 AM

That's just what a movie says, that doesn't apply to real-life. Sometimes it's necessary to become the very evil that your enemy is in order to defeat him/her, sometimes that's the only way it can be done. If I had to become the same type of loathesome being if it meant exacting vengeance against my enemy and punishing him/her, it'd be worth it.

Just Jeans

03-31-2008, 03:57 AM

I'm sorry Jig, but I think that's rubbish. There's absolutely no excuse for real humans to "get evil".

Jigsaw

03-31-2008, 04:11 AM

That's just your opinion. In my opinion, in no way does wanting vengeance against your enemy make you as bad as them. They did a terrible injustice to you and it's only appropriate that they get the same from you in return as punishment. It's an eye for an eye.

Jason's Storm

03-31-2008, 04:13 AM

To become "very evil" to defeat your enemy, usually means, you're no better then they are. I'm sure you've heard, "an eye for an eye, and the whole world goes blind."

It's not up to you to decide what a "just punishment" is. That's why we have the law and court systems. They aren't perfect by any means, but we all have to abide by the rules, lest we become criminals and live in anarchy.

But at the same time I and others have a right to form our opinions on what someone deserves as punishment and if I feel I have to become a vigilante to give my enemy what I see is a proper punishment I would do so.

Well, back on-topic, the casting news for the new F13 so far seems pretty good.

Well, this seems to have gone into a sensitive place to which I will not venture. But I will say this....

Anyone hurts someone I love or care about, may God have mercy on them, because I will not.

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger" that pretty much sums it up right there.

Anyways, back on topic.....

I agree, casting has gone pretty well, let's hope it keeps up.

You've summed up my feelings very well on the issue, Dre.

But back on-topic, the casting so far seems good. Derek Mears is a good choice for Jason, Jared Padalecki can act, and I hope the crew casts solid actors as a whole for the film.

As long as they keep Scout out. :p

Jigsaw

I haven't seen Rob Zombie's Halloween, but I wouldn't mind if Scout was casted in an F13 film. There's WAY worse actors that can end up casted than her.

The Dream Master

03-31-2008, 04:49 AM

I'm not going to lie. I wouldn't mind seeing Scout in this flick if it was decided she was the best person for the role. They should make an effort to look for someone else first, though. You know, just to make it look like they tried.

girlychaos

03-31-2008, 04:52 AM

Anything that reminds me of the Halloween remake should stay away from the new Friday. :p

Jigsaw

03-31-2008, 04:52 AM

Scout can easily evolve from her roles in movies like Sleepover and Halloween '07 and gain a lot more credability and respect as a serious actress.

DRE

03-31-2008, 04:55 AM

As long as they keep Scout out. :p

Amen to that.

I'm sorry, this chick is goddamn annoying. Watch Zombieween and then April Fools Day and you will see the same damn crying face and squeal and scream. I guess the same could be said about Jamie Lee back in the day, but at least she was good at it.

No thanks Scout, Jason doesn't need that, but hey, see you in Halloween 2.

The Dream Master

03-31-2008, 04:56 AM

Dre, you mean to tell me you actually had the courage to watch the April Fool's Day remake? You're a braver man than me.

03-31-2008, 04:58 AM

The AFD remake is already out? :confused:

Came out last Tuesday (direct to video).

Scout was adorable in those geek girl glasses. Beyond that, I have no real opinion of her, as her "part" in Zombie's Halloween was too minuscule to be able to judge her as an actress. There was no depth, all she had to do was be an annoying teenage girl, which she did quite well. But damn, even I could do that, and for less money to boot.

Jigsaw

03-31-2008, 05:01 AM

Came out last Tuesday (direct to video).

Thanks for the answer. I don't remember the original AFD very well at all.

girlychaos

03-31-2008, 05:04 AM

I'm sorry, this chick is goddamn annoying.

Exactly.

And she is one more reason why I'm still deciding whether or not I'm going to give the April Fools Day remake a chance.

DRE

03-31-2008, 05:09 AM

Yeah DM, I watched it, wherever Taylor Cole goes I follow. ;)

But it was a chore to sit through, not the worst film in the world and nowhere near the best. It couldn't touch the original, which I still love.

Let's just say it's a movie I wouldn't ever want to see again.

Jack Bauer

03-31-2008, 07:41 PM

Not to derail DRE, but did AFD have the same damm ending as the original?

DRE

03-31-2008, 08:01 PM

No. This ending was kind of...weird. I won't say more but, it was and wasn't a trick. You should rent it and make your own judgment of the film, you might even like it.

Jack Bauer

03-31-2008, 08:09 PM

Jared is a great choice for this film. I am a huge fan. His fans are not all fan girls though. He has a lot of guy fans who think he kicks ass. His acting is awesome and I think he will bring a lot to this film.

I know his IMDB hight is shorter than he really is. I cant remember his exact hight but I remember it was atleast an inch or two taller.

Interesting. I had no idea what his part was going to be like. I'm trying to stay as spoiler-free as possible, so I avoid a lot of things. I guess knowing a plot direction isn't that bad, though.

His character looking for his sister sounds similar to Rob in The Final Chapter. That's an interesting direction.

I was just going to post that interview here lol. I posted it up on IMDB not to long ago, he answered my question in part one of the interview lol.

I am trying to stay spoiler free as well, but since I am a huge fan I watch/read all of his interviews.

People at IMDB are saying how they dont believe a boy will be the main character.... I have no clue what they are talking about, since its been made clear Jared's character, Clay, is the main hero of the story. Those people are mainly anti-friday remake though.

----

He was named one of TV Guides "Hottest Actors" Here are some scans from the magazine and a couple of interviews...

I am really excited to see Jared in this movie. He also has a starring role comming out a month before Friday comes out. The movie is pretty much the direct opposite of Friday the 13th though lol. So it will be good to see him show his acting range.

J-padfan

05-26-2008, 06:47 AM

I found this from one of the Jared Padalecki sites. He was mentioned in "Heat" Magazine, I think thats a UK Magazine, I am not sure. We don't have it in the states so I am sure its a UK Magazine. Anyway they talk about him in Friday. Here is the quote.

"Supernatural hunk Jared Padalecki (Sam) has signed himself up for another encounter with the undead - It's been announced that he'll star in the movie remake of the horror classic Friday the 13th next year (relax, girls he won't be the one behind the mask) If you can't wait till then, there are four Supernatural specials on ITV2 next month"

Well, we can see that Jared won't look different from Sam Winchester. I suppose Sam and Dean went on separate missions, with Dean going to deal with a Bloody Valentine and Sam headed to Camp Blood.

That's been said a thousand times, but in honor of the first photo from the set, it's worth repeating.

NW77

05-30-2008, 03:16 AM

Why is he driving a old motorcycle? I know this film is suppose to take place in the current timeline like right now, despite it somewhat tell what happend in part 3.

J-padfan

05-30-2008, 03:27 AM

I actually think he looks different then Sam Winchester. Jared is great in making all of his characters different. He can play a teenager with an abussive father (A Little Inside), a perverted jock (Cry Wolf), a dumb but the only likable person in the whole movie (House of Wax), A scared and worried young guy slowly going insane (Flight of the Pheonix), An artist with a serious dramatic performance (Home For Christmas, which wont be in theaters until winter but still). There are many more.

I am sure this wont be any different. If you watch those then you can see that each character is very much different and he does it very well. In Cry Wolf sometimes you cant even believe its him acting the part, its so different then the others he has played.

Looking at that picture I dont see Sam Winchester. The outfit he is wearing almost makes him seem like one of those College Seniors who have been there for many years, probably becomming a doctor. Its hard to tell from the pic, since its blurry, but I think he might have a little bit of facial hair. He is on a motorcycle, so you can tell that his character also is going for the cool attitude. His hair looks shorter then Sam's as well. Well besides the rare episodes his hair is cut.

Jared has had every character he plays very different from eachother. Even if the part is small, he somehow makes the best of it and really gives it his all. I dont think for a second that Friday will be any different. Especialy since he is super excited for this! I cant wait to see it!

NW77, I kind of like that its an older motorcycle. I like the classic look. You can tell his character kind of looks like the type to have an old bike.

OK I know I am reading alot into one picture, but I am not called J-Padfan for nothing lol.

When you're looking for your sister, on a collision course with a slasher, you gotta go retro.

This might be a mild spoiler about the motorcycle....

I guess Jared's character, Clay, is suppose to ride a crappy motorcycle. I guess durring filming the bike actually broke down when it wasnt suppose to and Jared was making jokes about it. I wonder if there will be a scene where Clay is trying to start the bike and Jason is comming! LOL

That would be pretty good, and it would make sense for Shannon and Swift to put something like that in the script. They had a similar moment in the FvsJ script during the rave sequence, Linderman trying to start his scooter while Jason is coming toward him. It didn't reach the screen in that one, so maybe this time...

J-padfan

05-31-2008, 03:20 AM

I hope we see Kick Ass Clay alot in the movie. I mean I know we will durring the climax, since we know Clay is the hero of the story, but I dont want a lot of him afraid running away from Jason. A little bit is fine though, because who wouldnt run away from him at first lol, and it would be kind of anti-climatic if Clay just decided he was going to take him on right away.

Jared talked about Friday the 13th at the Supernatural convention he was at today. He talked about getting injured at one point. I guess in the scene

Jason puts his face through a window durring their battle and he really got cut.

He told the story in a pretty funny way, how he was trying to act all tough even though it hurt, and then when he went to his trailer to take his make up off for the night, he saw the glass in his forhead lol.

He also said that they are filming multiple endings and extra scenes in order to keep the ending of the film a secret until it is released. He was then asked if he kills Jason or if Jason lives through the movie. He then said "Michael Bay is powerful, and I will get struck by lightning if I say." It was pretty funny. I thought I would share. He also said that he is filming all night, 14 hours at a time because they are filming the ending scenes when its Clay and Jason.

Here are some pics of him describing getting hurt, and showing the cut on his forhead. He said it happened just 24 hours ago, so it would of been Saturday.
